Town Assault
Town Assault is similar to the Open Field Battle with a few differences. All of the defenders

You can choose whichever side you want and play the following battles. These

Lechfeld (955 AD)
The Magyar threat escalated quickly in the middle of the tenth century. Otto I assembled
a strike force of 4000 heavy armored knights and rode to meet the Magyar
army near Augsburg. The battle took place between the Lech and Schmutter rivers.
Otto achieved a resounding victory, managing to capture or kill most of the Magyar
nobility, effectively putting an end to the Magyar invasion.
Hastings (1066 AD)
